(CNN)The giant Zeppelin hangs above the Alps like the spaceship of another planet descending on our own.

But skiers Stefan Ager, Andreas Gumpenberger and Fabian Lentsch, come in peace; a trio seeking to achieve a world first.
Their aim: to Zeppelin-ski.
"We saw a Zeppelin circling around the sky," recalled Ager of the light-hearted afterthought that led to the daredevils setting sail aboard their sky-ship from Friedrichshafen, Germany. "As a joke, we just said: 'Let's do Zeppelin-skiing.'"
Two years later, as they abseiled down a 50-meter rope onto the 7,326-feet Kleiner Valkastiel summit atop the Austrian mountains, a pipedream inched closer to fruition; the ambition -- to ski down the peak's pristine Alpine slopes.
